Gluten Free Quiche Lorraine

Quiche is one of our favorite meals at my house. In fact, if I want to truly surprise my husband with a meal that is a guaranteed win, I’ll whip up a quiche. It was one of the first dishes I mastered as a young person. The first time I made it, I misread the ingredient list and used a tablespoon of salt instead of a teaspoon and ended up with an salty, inedible quiche. My parents had a good laugh about it and we had to switch to plan B. When I was in college, my roommates would request it.

Quiche is a pretty simple meal that can be enjoyed any time of day- from breakfast to dinner. It’s so simple, that I’m not sure why more folks don’t make it regularly. I guess it could be that making a pie crust can be a little challenging, but otherwise, this is an easy meal that can be thrown together quickly (though it does take a while to cook). Luckily, our new Gluten Free Pie Crust Mix makes it easy to whip up a pie crust. This recipe only uses half of the package, but if this was my house, I’d just double the filling and make two- one for dinner and one for breakfast and lunch the next day.

This classic Quiche Lorraine blends creamy Gruyere with salty bacon for a more decadent quiche. Pair this with a green salad and fresh fruit for a light, summer meal.

I thought the days of a good quiche were over when I went GF! I’m so surprised at how good this crust is. I served it to friends and they were impressed. It’s better than my home made pie crust with flour. I’ve used several Bobs Red Mill products and they have all been excellent!
My first try I didn’t have margarine so I used all butter. It was still great. Next time I used crisco instead of margarine and it was delicious but a little too crumbly.
